I am not a math guy.

I stuttered and fell throughout my MIT requirements.

So the idea of Pi is not as fascinating to me as to some people. But it is fascinating enough to bring it up today.

On Pi Day, Celebrate Math’s Enigmas: Don't expect math to make sense.

Somehow this headline is a balm and pleasure for my math addled soul.

"Don't expect it to make sense."

Wow.

I am glad I came on to this before I rattled off this worldly plane.

So much of my life has been spent on trying to make sense of things. And then, I realized, this was futile and so I quit.

I moved to day at a time living and expected life to happen. Life. In all its teeming variety.

I have been a lot happier ever since that day or week or whatever.

I see a lot of people still struggling with the "making sense" thing and I want to tell them to let it go.

But everyone has to find this out for themselves.

And now the last bastion has fallen. Math and Pi are just things like everything else. No sense at all. What a comfort!
